California

LOTS of pictures from this trip.  Sometimes I just can't stop taking them.

Hugs for Presley!
IMG_3722
These two were SO cute together. When we got to my parents house, Kyla and Presley were waiting for us outside. Immediately, Presley and Tate touched foreheads and tried to kiss. It was the cutest thing ever. They continued to do this throughout our trip. Buddies for sure. IMG_3723 Kisses. Man I love getting Tate kisses. IMG_3727

Friends

Sometimes my girl friends and I joke that no one will believe we had such great friends here in AZ because we never get pictures of us together.  Some of us got together the night before I went to CA, and I decided to bring my camera and take pictures!  I am glad I did.  We love our friends so much.

Swinging! IMG_3706 Damon loves babies. He is so sweet and gentle with them. He was sticking his finger in the hole of Beckham's pacifier, because he liked the feeling of him sucking and chewing on him. IMG_3708 If you are around these two enough, you will know how much Damon likes Tyler. He is his little shadow.

St. George

We went to St. George for a long weekend.  Lee had a boys trip with his Dad and most of his brothers, so I decided that I would tag along and hang out with Kelsey while he was off playing.  It was a fun trip...we just won't talk about the car ride...

Auntie Kelsey was nice enough to go into the chilly water with Damon IMG_3617 
And then after, she was rewarded with a lot of cuddling IMG_3621 
Watching the big kids
IMG_3626 
Happy guy! IMG_3630 
I took about twenty pictures trying to get a good one of these two. It was not going to happen. IMG_3633 Kisses from Damon (can you see Tate behind his hair?) IMG_3639 
Jumping so high IMG_3647 On Sunday, we went to the St. George temple and hung out there. It was such a beautiful day. On Sunday night, we went and hung out with the big boys along with Aunt Kristy and Caleb. It was so fun seeing them...we just forgot to take pictures.

Picture Update

I am way behind, so I will try and catch up with some pictures. IMG_3442

I think Tate was feeling a little squished IMG_3465 
Serious boy IMG_3490 Damon got a new big boy bed! He loves it. IMG_3522 We spend a lot of time in our pj's in the mornings IMG_3530
I came in from putting Tate down for a nap to find Damon and his drawing. He told me that he drew a boy. I could totally tell! I was pretty impressed. IMG_3536
I promise, he does smile a lot for us IMG_3540 
I know this is fuzzy, but I thought it was cute. He went in for the kiss all on his own. IMG_3550 
Buddies looking outside IMG_3552 
I love this boy SO much IMG_3565 Haha...I think this picture is pretty funny. They wore matching shirts on Easter...weird for me, I know. Tate did not want to take a picture. IMG_3575 Cute baby

Some of Tate's first steps...this was back in May IMG_3592 This little rascal likes this little cubby. I find him here a few times a day, and if I leave my diaper bag open, he makes sure to empty it out for me.
